Bill’s Family: Ancestors of Eldora Beahm

  
These pages are a compilation of my work and that of others. You are welcome to use anything on this page, but be aware that although I have been as careful and accurate as possible, I am not a professional genealogist. I have been working on our genealogy for over 25 years, and started the website in 2005. Some of the lines I have researched myself; some, especially on Rita’s side, we inherited the research of other family members over the past 75 years. Still, the majority of these pages are limited to compilations from published books and what I could find on the internet. The target audience was and remains our family, so the family pages are limited to our own ancestors. I have set it up so that each page is one set of ancestors, with their descendants. For the most part I have limited my scope to their great-grandchildren (second cousins to us); in some cases I list sources which may continue further.   HOME

Vincent Meggs and Emma Strong

 

 

31264. Vincent Meggs was born about 1583 in Devon, England, and died in 1658 in Connecticut. He married about 1606 in England,

31265. Emma Strong. Emma was born about Dec 1580 in Devon, England, and died sometime before 1635 in England.

Emma is said to be the daughter of William and Margaret.

Meggs is supposed to signify a child of Margaret, and early forms are seen in the 1200’s. Strong was simply a nickname for a strong person (or given as sort of a joke to a weak person).

Vincent and Emma had four children:

31264.1. Vincent

31264.2. Mary Ann

31264.3. John Meigs [15632] 1612 Eng - 1672 CT) and Thomasine Fry are direct ancestors, separate page.

31264.4. Mark

UNDER CONSTRUCTION

This page is just here to hold a place. It will be filled in as I get to it, check home page for updates.

I have a large amount of material to add, and expect completion no sooner than 2012.

I am currently going back through old pages to add sources -- have not completed this one yet, but will eventually
